Ever since I saw the recipe, I have been dreaming of this cake. Jell-O in a chiffon cake! Who’d thought of that! This is so totally clever.

And today I finally made the cake, and using my brilliant Bosch MaxxiMUM Sensor Control Kitchen Machine too!

One of the cleverest functions of this machine is that it can detect when egg whites or cream have reached stiff peaks and automatically stops. I mean, seriously, there is no need to check frequently, and no more guesswork anymore!

As you know, whisking egg whites can be a bit of a nightmare. If the whites are under-whipped, you end up with a flat chiffon cake (GASP!) and if they are over-whipped, they will start to look grainy and dull and will eventually collapse back on themselves (YIKES!). Either way, that is not good, because no stiff peaks = no tall and light chiffon cakes.

But the Bosch MaxxiMUM Sensor Control Kitchen Machine walks the talk. It made a perfect meringue and I made a lovely chiffon cake that was both tall and airy as well as light.

This machine totally rocks.

Apart from the Sensor Control, it also has one of the most powerful motors (1600 watts) in the market right now, This means that all whisking, beating and other functions are done in a shorter time. For a busy home cook like myself, I appreciate any savings I can make in time. This frees me up to spend time on other things that need my attention.

In addition to the power, the Bosch MaxxiMUM Sensor Control Kitchen Machine also comes with a three-dimensional mixing system. This is possible because of the innovative 3-D Planetary Mixing accessory which moves in three directions at the same time. This means that the machine not only works fast, it also mixes evenly.

If you’d like to make this cake too, let me show you how.

In a mixing bowl, beat the yolks and sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy.

Into this, add vegetable oil and continue mixing.

Add the milk, and mix to combine.

Fold in the dry ingredients – cake flour and baking powder that have been sifted.

Finally fold in the Raspberry Jell-O.

Set this aside.

In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites. Press the “Egg White” button on the Sensor Control.

Transfer 1/3 of the meringue into the yolk mixture. Beat it in – there is no need to be gentle – as this stabilizes the mixture.

Gently fold in the remaining meringue in 2 batches, until no white remains.

Pour the batter into an UNGREASED tube pan. Lift the pan about 10 cm off the table top and drop it to removed the larger air bubbles. Repeat this several times.

Bake this at 170°C for the required time. The cake will rise and sink. If the cake gets too brown, cover it with aluminium foil and continue baking.

When the cake is baked, invert and cool it on an elevated cooling rack. Cool the cake completely before unmoulding.

There you go – a tall, light and airy Raspberry Chiffon Jell-O Cake!

As you can see, Bosch has managed to design a machine that is a winner. Much thought has been put into the design of the MaxxiMUM Sensor Control Kitchen Machine, resulting in this totally functional and efficient machine. Bosch’s founder, Robert Bosch’s goal was to develop “technology for life” and the MaxxiMUM Sensor Control Kitchen Machine definitely fits right into my life.

Continue whisking until soft peaks form.

Gradually add the sugar and continue until stiff peaks form.
